Brinky Life #iPPP

Posted on Apr 4, 2012 in Brinky | 9 comments

The girls are gone to Hilton Head for spring break, so Brinky’s living the life of an only child. But before the girls were allowed to go, we told them they had to help us clean the house and get the family room extra baby-proofed for this week. What did they do? They put their brother to work.

He did keep his sippy cup with him while he swept because it’s thirsty work. And it was a new sippy cup he didn’t want to have removed from his hand.

He was allowed to eat some lunch after all his hard work, and he made some of the funniest faces ever.

At the end of the day, he had to have a big bottle and watch some Dora to relax.

It was tough to get ready for this only child week, but I can say he’s enjoying it now that it’s here.

  1. We have the same sippy! That’s the right idea — put them to work early in life. Luke already knows how to clean up spills. He’s so precious — I wish our boys could have a play date!

    • I hope he learns to like cleaning early because I know my girls are pretty worthless on that front :)
      I bet our boys would have a lot of fun together! You can just stop by some time on the way to West Virginia.

  2. He is adorable. I love that you are training him early to be a great catch for one lucky woman some day, men who clean ROCK!

  3. He’s the cutest.

  4. Phew, I might need to put my feet up just from watching him do the work. :)

  5. Phew! I might need to put my feet up just from watching him do all that work. :)

  6. Oh ‘lil cutie pie!

    Enjoy the solo time, mama! It’s so very rare, isn’t it?

  7. Okay I am commenting on twitter. I have been trying to comment on your page for so long. Weird. Anyway, enjoy your solo time! You are going to have a great time with B. I am also slightly jealous that he holds his own bottle. Zane never held his own bottle.

  8. Aah, the life!

    Wouldn’t it be great to be a baby again?
